radoran Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Great news that it appears to be among the least serious broken legs one can have - one bone, one fracture. Hopefully Stamkos gets back to 100%. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hoping for a speedy recovery.He has youth and conditioning on his side, so if he somehow made it back in time to help the Lightning seal away a playoff spot, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. In the meantime, it is time for the vets on the team to really step up their game, and some of the younger guys to grow up just a bit quicker. Jon Cooper said it best and I agree: this is a team game and there is much talent here! Also, it was mentioned, while Stamkos is a HUGE reason this team goes, he is NOT the whole team, and there are many other reasons in the forms of other players as to why this team has turned things around thus far. Hey, if Crosby can be injured, then come back and help bolster his team late in the season, so can Stamkos.Get well, Stammer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Any time the sport loses a player of his caliber it's unfortunate at best.i hope he recovers fully . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) **Thread **BUMP** ....and Stamkos update... Just heard a few minutes ago from NHL Network, that Steve Stamkos is WALKING without the use of crutches or a walking boot...he had a steel rod inserted into his leg during surgery.They also said while no time table for his return has been set, him being around for crunch time towards the end of the season is NOT impossible! Good news indeed for Bolts fans.......and fantastic news for the player himself.Stamkos has so much more left to do in his career, and I am sure the NHL would love to have his skills back on the ice helping to push the NHL product as a whole. Will keep my fingers crossed that everything continues to go well for him and that he can be back as good as new soon.

flyercanuck Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 @TropicalFruitGirl26 They were just talking about him on Hockey Central...saying they're not ruling him out for the Olympics just yet (wishful thinking no doubt but great they can even think about that). Pretty amazing he's up and walking, no cast, no crutches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's a testament to his great conditioning (Gary Roberts has a huge hand in that!), modern medicine....and of course, being as young as he is doesn't hurt either, @flyercanuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 @TropicalFruitGirl26 Ya, Roberts name always gets mentioned when it comes to nutrition and working out in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 And in 4 weeks he is already in skates on the ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Quite the speedy recovery. Still not holding my breath he's ready for the Olympics but it's really starting to look possible. You can replace a lot of parts on a team but I don't think we can replace his goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
